in love with Shawn.
writing up a challenge to Bob.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Do you guys need to take the trouble to accomodate non-posters?
Maybe they're non-posters because they couldn't work out how to get around.

Perhaps, but where do you limit usability concerns? The universe of possible users or...the users?

I'd just as soon they lurked for a bit and got the hang of thangs before they they posted.
It's an incredibly clean and easy-to-navigate board. I vote: don't mess with what's working.

you know what, I'm ok with that. I don't want to try to be the board for everyone. If they don't like this set-up , there are other set-ups. If there are specific problems, then I'd think they would email an admin about them, or ask in a thread.

I don't think you limit them by saying you don't care about decorating for people who couldn't find the front door.
I think you limit them by a) standards of interface design b) alienating current users.
Which does leave room to play.

cereal:

I could say that about the code too. But I won't. Because just because it works, doesn't mean it can't work better.
There's absolutely to reason to think we did it completely right the first time.
Therefore my question.

It may not be completely right, but it is, hands down, the most user-friendly, clean, pretty, and functional boards I've ever seen. Can't wait to see where you go from here.

Nah, just the people who came in for your party, had some chips and bitched about the way it looked when they left.
Obviously it's no skin off my back, I am just concerned about going to a lot of trouble for a couple ungrateful disgruntled. Also I'm against large items just because of making the site inconspicuous at work, but the great design here was made without my input and will be great without it.
